How to delete Skype

 This is impossible to delete a Skype account permanently from the user side. Because Microsoft did not delete your Skype account until 30 days after the deletion. Microsoft waits for 30 days before closing your Skype account to verify your identity and protect your account from accidentally or maliciously being closed. If you’re not interested in using a Skype account, you'll remove your personal information from the Skype database, making it impossible for others to find your account. Deleting Skype account permanently may be a multi-step process, you’ll get to remove the payment method, cancel any subscription, unlink your Microsoft account from your Skype, and more.
